Well done.

Honestly, swag from such a stupid dead game would be hilariously fun to have.

Soon the predatory loan industry will just be the loan industry because poor people won’t be able to afford food without one.

The audit details and whitepaper details are far beyond my capabilities to understand. Can anyone with knowledge of the field tell us about the findings? If you would be so kind, please and thank you.

Good on them for getting an audit and making the code publicly auditable, but I really would like to hear an opinion from some folks who are more involved in cryptography on whether this is Discord being genuine and doing the right thing, or is it Discord trying to use Public Relations and weasel words to make it seem like they’re doing the right thing.

It’s just hard to trust a private company’s motives sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they’re not capable of doing the right thing. Thanks to anyone who can give some input on this.

Dang, how many brothers does the Crypt Keeper have?

What’s this guy, the File Keeper?

Have you ever worked in a corporation or in government? Even moreso, have you ever worked at a secured facility of any type?

You don’t just get to install whatever the fuck you want on machines, you know? They have to go through a process, and since this is a government organization, if the law doesn’t allow them to install something like that on a thin client, it’s kind of pointless to reference.

I’ve worked a shitty corporate job where I basically had no power and I had to get approval from a couple different teams for something like Microsoft PowerToys, which is free and made by Microsoft.

Does OnlyOffice run on Swintec typewriters? How many people are going all-in on not reading the article today?

I’m betting the budget isn’t the problem.

Jesus ya think? Is today “everyone painfully obviously didn’t read the article and commented anyway” day?

Just quoting myself here:

They’re promoting new legislation to allow the libraries to allow modern equipment and not just typewriters.

Does Libre Office run on Swintec typewriters?

Because the issue is they’re not even allowed a PC, the budget only allows typewriters.

They even point out in the article that a new Swintec technically costs more than a new, crummy laptop.

They’re promoting new legislation to allow the libraries to allow modern equipment and not just typewriters.

Further, since it’s a Correctional Facility library, there’s gonna be strict controls and even if they wanted Libre Office instead of Microsoft Office they would have to put in a formal request for it and then have various security teams deciding whether it was safe to use or not, even though it is technically free. I mean, that goes for pretty much any government job or corporate job, too. They don’t usually let people install whatever they want on government or corporate networks.

Ah, yes, my favorite activity at parties, looking at some weirdos trash collection.

It’s called a joke. We’re in a sub called “programmer humor.” You must be fun at parties.

I don’t know, that mindset is so foreign to me. If someone was overestimating how long it would take because they were simply trying to be conservative and not run into unexpected cost overruns, I would commend them. I’ve always considered it more prudent to expect something to take longer so you know the kind of budget you need up front instead of lying to yourself about it. It costs a lot more (in terms of lost time and productivity) to have to swing a new budget mid-project because it turns out you’ve burned through the planned budget and you’re only 2/3 the way done with the project.

So, screw your manager, you’re doing the right thing, in my eyes. I guess that’s why I’m not in charge of anything.

They stopped that ad campaign about 15 years ago, and they started it closer to 20 years ago.

very smart much secure

Upvoted, agreed, and all I really want to say is thanks for bringing more Brian Blessed into my life. Never enough of him.

Montgomery Scott of the Starship Enterprise has entered the chat.

Musk just tweeted out a death threat against a Presidential candidate and still has fucking security clearance.

I mean, this really just belies all the lies post-9/11 from the conservatives about how they cared deeply about US security. (It was Security Theater then, it’s Security Theater now)

Just like any shitty corporation, security is almost always compromised by high-level officials that think the rules do not apply to them.

How the fuck is this country even still standing at this point with this chicanery and buffoonery at the reigns?

This is the real answer. Musk has no limits, but a Presidential Candidate being threatened is taken very fucking seriously by the Secret Service.
